lost in the north wrote:Sorry Cat, a little older than twelve. I think you and Doc have a lot to offer the young, low time pilots. Its how you do it that irks many. We all know how you feel about T.C. I think most people don't want to hear about it anymore. I think if the posts were constructive, rather than you and Doc acting like god looking down on everyone. There are many pilots as good or better on this forum than you two who come across in a much more helpful manner.
You hit the nail on the head "Lost in the North". Like a former CP told me once, "It's not your message, it's your delivery". Chucky, Doc and I have had this out more than once before. Really you two, can you make over 30,000 posts collectively and expect anyone to take you seriously? Amazingly, there have been many other pilots that have actually lived with thousands of hours without accidents. But most of us look at it that we were very fortunate and definitely lucky. I know many pilots (dead and alive) that were excellent pilots that had accidents, some were mechanical. Yes, there are some out there that probably chose the wrong career, but I think most of us are pretty good at what we do.
7500 F/W and 5500 R/W, 95% bush flying. "By the grace of god go I". Like an old bush pilot told me, when you are sitting in your rocking chair and didn't kill yourself or anyone else then you can brag. So Chucky, Kuddos to you, you made it. Maybe you should be a little more thankful and a lot less arrogant. As I have said before, you have a lot to offer. You might think about presenting in a way that someone might actually be prepared to listen to you
